| City of Kyle Dedicates New Sports Complex at Gregg-Clark Park
The City of Kyle Parks and Recreation department is kicking up their sports programs several notches this summer as they open up their new $700,000 sports complex. The opening of the complex is the realization of a plan that began in 1991 and is made possible by a grant from the Hays County Parks & Open Spaces Grant approved by voters in 2007.
Kyle Mayor Lucy Johnson and Hays County Precinct 2 Commissioner Mark Jones rolled out the ceremonial "first pitch" as the Kyle Adult Kickball League christened the new fields during a brief ceremony on Thursday, June 16th.
To help satisfy the needs and desires of the growing community, the Parks Department designed a sports complex that could be utilized by multiple sports.
The unique arrangement in the space allows for the hosting of youth baseball, youth softball, youth and adult kickball, youth and adult soccer, youth and adult flag-football, youth and adult lacrosse, rugby, and any other field sport you can imagine on a field that is 120 yards wide and 120 yards long.
Surrounding the multi-use fields is a 1/3 of a mile trail made of crushed granite that will be used by walkers, joggers, dog-walkers, physical fitness programs and many other recreational users.
A public restroom and future concession building is included. Another feature to serve all the park users is a pedestrian bridge crossing the drainage ditch connecting the sports complex with the pool, picnic and playground areas.
